Introduction

The Alert Point is an aesthetically pleasing, robust and fully featured stand alone alarm
system. Powered with a 9 VDC alkaline battery, the Alert Point includes an integral
sounder and resettable call point.

Manufactured from tough polycarbonate, the Alert Point is designed for use in
industrial as well as commercial or retail applications.

Quick and easy to install and providing protection within minutes, the Alert Point is
an ideal solution for establishments that have a requirement for a simple but effective
alarm system. They may include: industrial/temporary buildings, warehouses,
portacabins, churches, car parks, small offices and holiday parks etc. Where an EN54
fire system is decommissioned on a construction site, the Alert Point is ideal as a
temporary system for raising an alarm in the event of an emergency.

Available in a variety of colours, the Alert Point can be used for a wide range of
applications such as fire, intruder, panic, evacuation, assist or general alarm. It also
incorporates a tamper switch to prevent unauthorised removal or misuse.
